341 mL bottle. Label says 5%. The right colour, but not much head. Coffee grounds in the nose, with a hint of something metallic. Coffee up front in the flavour, but it finishes really quickly. Nothing there to balance or enhance the coffee.

Huge coffee chocolate and vanilla in the nose, black opaque, little head. Little acidic on the palate, moderate carbonation, lots of espresso and dark chocolate flavours, and a long dry bitter finish. Good stuff.

(Cask at Victory Cafe, Oct 5 2013) Poured black with a ring of tan bubbles. Aroma relatively faint, chocolate, some roast, not much coffee. Flavour had chocolate, roast coffee, some slight dark fruit, slight roasted malt. Finish was fairly dry, bitter, roast coffee. Mouthfeel watery, not rich like an oatmeal stout should be, maybe the cask wasn’t at its best but this was unobjectionable and uninspiring.
